€ 950
incl. BTW (indien van toepassing) volgens de margeregelingRaak Globe floor lamp Frank Ligtelijn from 1960, this rare first edition is identifiable by its height-adjustable screw — a detail completed with a pin in later models. A unique piece for lovers of original Dutch lighting design.
Created by silversmith Frank Ligtelijn for Raak Amsterdam, the lamp features a hand-blown smoked glass globe with an aluminium reflector, resting on a slender chrome-plated metal stand. The globe rotates freely, offering both direct and indirect lighting — ideal for a reading corner or atmospheric accent. The glossy chrome contrasts elegantly with the black base and the warm brown hue of the smoked glass. Dimensions: 27 × 24 × (125–175) cm (h). Marked: Raak Amsterdam. Source: Raak catalogue 6, page 85.
The condition of this floor lamp is very good with minimal signs of use; light scratches and subtle ageing consistent with its period. The wiring has been checked by a certified electrician and is fully safe. Ready for immediate use.
